305-032-521-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-521-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting with a vertical orientation. It features 32 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts PCBs with thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength, it employs solder pin termination and thermoplastic insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Dual-side female contact design for robust board interface
• Thermoplastic housing provides electrical insulation and structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring polarized card edge connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact termination style and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations as regulatory requirements may evolve.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connector with polarizing key capability is required. The 3.96 mm pitch and 32-position count define the interface density. Verify that the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range and meets the 5 A current rating requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 305-032-521-201 specifically denotes a 32-position dual-row variant with solder pin termination and green thermoplastic housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult EDAC official cross-reference guides for direct substitutes. Alternative parts must match the 3.96 mm pitch, 32-position count, dual-edge configuration, and polarizing key acceptance capabilities.
